B&C Alternator Options

[Girraf]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a B&C alternator setup for a stock Vans IO-360-M1B. I'm uncertain on a few options like mount type and belt size. I think I need to order the un-clocked LX-60 with a boss mount and a 7360 belt but would appreciate any validation that this is correct. I'll be pairing that with the LR3D regulator (14V).

Edit: Additional research verified the boss mount. With a stock horizontal induction cowling, I presume the un-clocked is still ok and I'm blindly going with B+C's belt length recommendation for RVs with a 9 3/4" flywheel pulley.

L-40 Alternator, 40 Amps (Homebuilt).
Boss Mount Bracket Kit FK5400-1.
Van's RV Aircraft typically need a 7360 Belt due to the tight cowl.
Please choose the LR3C-14 for 12v systems.

Yes

Just did this to replace my spline drive alt.

Works very well. Very happy with it.
